With the arrest of MICHAEL PARRY, the last member of the gang that Ryan had infiltrated, the rest of the police force seems to accept that the investigation into his murder is over, but to Jo the truth seems further away than ever.

At Ryan’s funeral Jo chases down his former handler, TOM PIPER, who warns her to stay out of the investigation. Suspecting that some of Ryan’s own colleagues might have had something to do with his death, Jo goes back to work, determined to piece together her husband’s final days.

And now not only is her husband’s killer still on the loose, but her own life is in danger. (HD)
